世界上最小的姜饼屋比人的头发还小

Have yourself a tiny little Christmas!

过一个小小的圣诞节吧!

A Canadian scientist has built what’s likely the world’s smallest gingerbread house — a dazzling frosty abode that’s 10 times tinier than the width of a human hair, according to a report.

据报道，加拿大一位科学家建造了可能是世界上最小的姜饼屋——一个令人眼花缭乱的结霜小屋，比人类头发的宽度还小10倍。

Travis Casagrande, an Electron Microscopy researcher in Ontario, carved the elaborately detailed decoration — which has a wreath, a brick chimney, and a Canadian flag doormat — from silicon using a device that functions like a microscopic sandblaster, according to cbc.ca.

据哥伦比亚广播公司报道，加拿大安大略省的电子显微镜研究员特拉维斯·卡萨基德用一种类似微型喷砂器的装置，用硅雕刻出了这个精致细致的装饰品，它有一个花环、一个砖砌烟囱和一个加拿大国旗门垫。

“Compared to the size of a typical gingerbread house that you might buy in a grocery store kit, mine is 20,000 times smaller,” Casagrande, who works at the Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy, told the outlet.

在加拿大电子显微镜中心工作的Casagrande告诉媒体:“和你在杂货店买的姜饼屋相比，我的姜饼屋要小2万倍。”

The Christmas geek shot stunning footage of the festive pad on top of a snowman, which are both shown to scale — dwarfed next to a single hair.

这名圣诞怪才拍摄了一组令人震惊的画面，画面上的圣诞垫压在一个雪人的身上，这两个雪人都是按比例放大的——与一根头发相比，简直是小巫见大巫。

When the microscopic camera pans out, the hair looks like a gigantic cylinder next to the teensy house.

当显微镜镜头拍摄下来时，头发看起来就像一个巨大的圆柱体，紧挨着小房子。
